Report

"It seems that the disposable chopsticks in Sun Yangzheng's shop were made by the Gongshu Family?" Old Zhang frowned.

He had designed the disposable chopsticks himself, so he knew that it did not require much skill. It could only stump ordinary craftsmen. However, for the Gongshu Family, who had been fighting against the Mo Family for many years, this was not a problem for them.

Li Yi nodded and said with a solemn face, "The Gongshu family did not come with good intentions! They are colluding with the Taiyuan Wang Family! "

Like the Mo Family, the Gongshu Family had declined to the extreme. However, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. With the support of the Taiyuan Wang Family, the Gongshu Family would be able to rise again. By then, the Gongshu Family would be a strong enemy of the Mo Family.

"No wonder Gongshu Hong personally pointed out Meton as the Great Son of the Mo Family. Only by defeating the Great Son of the Mo Family can the Gongshu Family regain their glory. The stronger the Mo Family is, the more the Gongshu Family can show the strength of the Gongshu Family. The more hostile the Gongshu Family is to the Mo Family, the more the Wang Family will help them." Old Zhang suddenly realized that the Gongshu Family had shown up in Chang 'an City openly to challenge the Mo Family.

"Gongshu Hong? He is definitely not an easy person to deal with! "Li Yi said seriously.

"He is a smart person. That's good! The Gongshu Family has declined to the extreme. Seeing the Mo Family rise again, the Gongshu Family will not fall behind. Gongshu Hong must know that only the Mo Family can show the status of the Gongshu Family. " Meton analyzed. From a certain point of view, the Mo Family and the Gongshu Family's specialties overlapped. It was inevitable that there would be conflicts.

According to his observation, Gongshu Hong was not a reckless man. The Gongshu Family's disciples behind him were all dressed simply and looked miserable. Obviously, they were not much better than the Mo Family half a year ago. For a family that could barely afford food and clothing, the grudges of the ancestors from a thousand years ago were not that urgent.

"Now that things have come to this, we can only deal with them as they come." Elder Hua frowned. The Medical Family and the Mo Family were no longer in decline. They were strong enough to deal with any challenges.

"Don't worry! Misfortune could be a blessing in disguise, and a blessing in disguise. The arrival of the Gongshu Family was not only a bad thing. With the Gongshu Family's interference, some people would be happy to see such a situation! Relax your hostility towards the Mo Family. "Meton shook his head.

Ever since the Mo Family appeared in Chang 'an City and achieved such a dazzling result, it had already caused some people to feel uneasy. With the Gongshu Family as their opponent, the Mo Family might be in a better situation.

"Even so, we can't let our guard down. We have to keep an eye on the Gongshu family's every move," Li Yi reminded.

Everyone couldn't help but nod. This was also very necessary.

The Gongshu Family didn't hide their whereabouts, so it was easy to find them. Moreover, they weren't far away. They were in the carpentry shop in the East City.

"Dang dang dang!"

With the help of a few Gongshu Family members, Gongshu Hong quickly assembled a brand-new curved plow.

"The curved plow of the Mo Family is indeed a masterpiece!" Gongshu Hong looked at his masterpiece and sighed with emotion as he touched the round shaft of the plow.

As a master craftsman, of course, he could tell how great the curved plow was. It saved labor, materials, and labor, and the entire curved plow was integrated into one. It had reached the pinnacle of plowing.

The curved plow of the Mo Family had only appeared for a few months and was far from being popularized throughout the Tang Dynasty. Before the Gongshu Family came out, although they focused on craftsmanship, they had their own land. The plowing pears they used were all made by themselves. Although they were better than ordinary plowing pears, they were far inferior to the artistic curved plow in front of them.

"Master, you overestimate the Mo Family. The curved plow is indeed good, but the workmanship is too poor. Compared to the one in your hand, it is simply too crude." A stout young man of about 20 years old called Gongshu Lun looked at the original curved plow that had been disassembled with disdain. Such crude workmanship was even worse than that of a ten-year-old child of the Gongshu Family.

"That's right. Master, your workmanship is uncanny. Not to mention the Mo Family, even in the entire Tang Dynasty, no one can compare with you." The Gongshu Family members on the side all complimented.

The selection rules of the Gongshu Family and the Mo Family were roughly the same. They both selected the best ones. The Gongshu Family's selection method was based on the workmanship of the carpenter. In terms of workmanship, Gongshu Hong was the best in the Gongshu Family.

Gongshu Hong compared the two curved plows, shook his head and said, "What's the use of having good workmanship? No matter how good the curved plow is, it can't farm more than two acres of land. Although the curved plow of the Mo Family is crude, it is simple, sturdy, and durable. It is enough for farming."

Gongshu Hong could be the master of the Gongshu Family, of course, not only because of his workmanship, but also because he had a good taste. Compared with the Gongshu Family's workmanship, which pursued exquisite workmanship, the Mo Family's workmanship pursued minimalism. They used the least amount of wood to make tools, so the cost of the tools was astonishingly low. If they sold the curved plow at the same price, the Gongshu Family would probably starve to death.

"Master, why do you praise others and diminish your own?" Gongshu Lun was not convinced.

Gongshu Hong stared at Gongshu Lun and said sternly, "The Mo Family has been in seclusion for thousands of years, and Mo Jiazi is famous in Chang 'an City. If we don't know our opponents well, how can we surpass the Mo Family and revitalize the Gongshu Family?"

"Yes, master!" Although Gongshu Lun was not convinced, he still lowered his head and accepted the advice.

The other members of the Gongshu Family also nodded, and there was no longer any contempt in their eyes. When facing the famous Mo Family, they could not be too careful.

"Besides, Lu Ding, an abandoned disciple, could be appointed as a general. Now that the Gongshu Family has officially come out of seclusion, we have nothing to worry about." Gongshu Hong encouraged them.

"Yes, and the Taiyuan Wang Family has promised to support the Gongshu Family with all their strength. When the time comes, the Gongshu Family will definitely rise again," Gongshu Lun said excitedly.

Lu Ding was an abandoned disciple who could not even use the name of the Gongshu Family, but he could still become an official in Chang 'an City, let alone them.

Looking at the eager faces of the members of the Gongshu Family, Gongshu Hong could not help but smile. If the Gongshu Family wanted to get support, they had to prove their worth.

A simple set of chopsticks in exchange for a shop in the East Market of Chang 'an City. It was a good deal. Gongshu Hong felt more and more that it was a wise decision to confront the Mo Family. Only when the Mo Family was strong could the Gongshu Family's value be reflected.

"Father, it's not good!" A fifteen-year-old boy ran in in a panic and said anxiously.

"Hao 'er! What's wrong? "Gongshu Hong looked at the boy anxiously. This boy was his son, Gongshu Hao.

"The Mo Family? Mo Journal … "Gongshu Hao was in a hurry, so he stammered.

"The Mo Family? Did the Mo Family come to bully us? "Gongshu Lun suddenly understood, and the other members of the Gongshu Family also gathered, looking like they had a common enemy.

"No … Look!" Gongshu Hao was so anxious that he could not speak. He handed the Mo Magazine to Gongshu Hong.

It was a single-page supplement with a few eye-catching words on it: "The Gongshu Family Is Coming."

"Family Head, did the Mo Family say bad things about us?" Gongshu Lun asked anxiously as he waited at the side.

Gongshu Hong shook his head, a strange expression on his face. Not only did the Mo's supplement not say anything bad about the Gongshu Family, it even praised all of Gongshu Ban's inventions and his contributions to the progress of mankind. It even encouraged the Gongshu Family to continue working hard and contributing to the Great Tang.

Gongshu Hong passed the Mo Magazine to Gongshu Lun and the other members of the Gongshu Family.
